Today's Dog and Cat of the Day are up, Pet will be up later, sorry!
Today's fluffy Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up.
As is usual on Friday, chaotic day, now I have to get ready and head down to Farmers Market. All the baking is done, two other crisis dealt with.
Minutae the chicken is loose in the house, she has chicks and has adopted some she didn't hatch, so I cannot complain too much! She is the surviving daughter of Madeline, the Sizzle (Half Silkie, half Frizzle) chicken we lost to predators.
Sadly, Mr. Bean the goat is missing for over a day now, may have been chased by the coywolves and not know his way home. He had been tethered to Kritter the Wazilla, and Kermit found Kritter in the woods, but bean broke the tether. Kritter is home safe, thankfully.
Aww! Teddy is precious!:love: So sorry to hear he lost his best friend. But between you and all of the other critter companions on the farm hopefully he's not too lonely!:) How neat that you have a neighbor nearby with a kiln that you can use. Hand molding is such fun!Quote:

Minutae and the chicks sound like fun!
I hope Mr. Bean is safe and will be back home soon.

Thanks everyone, and pat, we do not know if we will ever see Mr. Bean again, as he was not yet particularly bonded to anyone here, but do hope he is safe out there somewhere. Here in the mountains, there's lots of woods to travel and get lost in, and he was not yet wethered - in fact, that was scheduled for yesterday - so may be wandering in search of lady goats too.

He had not said anything about that, because he didn't want to sway my opinion for his sake.
I have been on the road all day, getting animal feed, etc., will not be able to update the pets until late. Sigh. Sorry, folks.

Felt like fall this morning ...
I will make my traditional September 1 post, but decided to just carry over yesterday's honorees to today, and move forward getting them hop earlier in the day from this point forward,
Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up!
So sorry, late in the day again. Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up!
My usual busy Friday message - getting ready for Farmer's Market. Won;t be updating the pets today. Sigh.
But the kittens are so adorable! I just need to convince them I am not a tree to climb! Another couple weeks until they go to their new homes. We will miss them. Got a good picture I will post later, I promise!
Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up, and good news ...
Mr. Bean - our goat - is alive! He is not yet home, but is hanging out near the the local tallest waterfall, Hamilton Falls. Unfortunately, it is suddenly a tourist hot spot, but the Sheriff - there for crowd/COVID-19 control, saw him this morning - and got a great picture! It's in a state park, nearby, and there are lots of woods and goat browsing. So he's alive, not hungry, and probably having a grand time, still wearing his collar and trailing the lead rope he broke ... Kermit is going to go back in the wee hours of the morning and see if he has better luck finding him then.
Great news!!! Hoping Mr. Bean can be found and returned home, safely!Quote:

There are so many tourists from out of state trying to visit the falls this holiday weekend - and there's no parking there - that Kermit is going to wait until after people go back to their own states - so Tuesday I think. There's also hope that he may show up at our friend Amos's house, whose property abuts the state park. The terrain is pretty difficult for humans, and the only parking is a small lot for emergency vehicles, as historically people have died on those rocks, or been badly injured, and needed rescue.Quote:

Today's Pet(s), Dog and Cat are up.
Today's adventures have included Marigold finding, dispatching and bringing into the kitchen a chipmunk, whose corpse I then gave to Spaulding the Ball Python in his enclosure so no one stepped on it.
The kittens regard me as a climbing tree, oh those wee claws!
Lots of tourists slowing down to look at our animals, a few leaving their cars (in the middle of the road) to get out and try to take pictures, one little crying because her dad wouldn;t let her attempt to pet the geese, and more dramas!
What does Spaulding normally eat?
I sure hope those kittens aren't running around anywhere near his enclosure.
His enclosure is quite secure, and the kittens are not allowed in the aviary anyway.Quote:

I'm glad to know the kittens are safe! They must be so much fun to watch (and have them use your leg as a tree).
So Spaulding doesn't need to get live prey? That's great!
Any further news on Mr. Bean? More hopes and prayers and good wishes and warm loving energies that he is safe and will be back home soon.
There is apparently a photo somewhere on Facebook of him, he is somewhere near Hamilton Falls, either at the bottom or the top, depending on who saw him last. The deputy sheriff had not sighted him yesterday, but does have the peppermints in his pocket as a lure just in case.
And no, Spaulding never gets live food, except any flies or bugs he wants to catch, that's up to him.
Today's Cat, Dog and Pet are up.
Mr. Bean, come back home soon! Peppermints are awaiting!
(I never knew those were goat delicacies.)
Toiday has been crazy busy at the Post Officer, and I had to run an errand that dragged into 45 minutes extra, So I will not be updating the pets today, so late in the day, but will try to get them up earlier tomorrow. Sigh.
Today's Pet, Dog and Cat of the Day are up!
Today's Dog, Cat and Pet are up at last.
I am getting ready for Farmer's Market, as has been the case each Friday lately. Last week, I promised to get the pets up early on Saturday to compensate, but then we lost power for 6 hours just as I set to work. But the skies are clear, and so should be able to get them up early in the day on Saturday.
I also promise much kitten cuteness - they were of course "helping" me bake by frolicking or napping smack dab in the middle of the kitchen. Mulligan decide to occupy baskets I had hoped to use - thankfully we have quite a selection. Would you like pictures of that? And I have a great picture I need to show you all from LAST Friday ... Papa and kittens napping on the chest I needed to bring out to the car - all my ceramics travel in it. Of course.
Pictures?
yes, please.
I'd love to see the pictures!

Today's fabulous Dog, Cat and Pet of the Day are up. I will post those promised pictures this evening.

Craziness ensued last evening that bled into today - will explain later. All animals and humans are fine, no worries there.

Alas, busy day today - I will not be getting the pets up until after 8:30 tonight, as other obligations now call. Sorry everyone.
Today's new Cat, Dog and Pet are up!
Okay, overdue promised pictures from last Friday -

Thank you, that's a great start, Karen.

Looking forward to seeing more photos.
Thanks, Karen!
